Why Tim Tebow is great

[andrewhoya]

Agree, taxman.

If he thinks Christianity is the mostest bestest and mostest specialest religion in the whole wide world, whoopty-doo for him. Here's a gold star for you, Timmy. But I don't want to hear about it. Football should not be a church service or a Republican fundraiser. What are they going to do next, pass a collection plate around the arena?

People like him say that oh, they just couldn't go on without giving glory to their lord. But their words and actions prove the only thing they are interested in, have ever been interested in, will ever be interested in and CAN ever be interested in is giving glory to themselves. He's not wearing his faith on his sleeve for God's benefit. He's doing it for his own benefit. In fact, he's doing the exact opposite of what he claims God told him to do in the book he claims God wrote:

so should i assume you are firmly against obama's basketball fundraiser which is being put on by over 20 nba players?

also, if players are only allowed to talk about things that we all agree they should talk about then they couldn't speak. i could care less about half the stuff they say, should they stop talking because i don't like it?

It's truly sad that you see things this way, because it is completely based on your personal prejudices instead of what is actually true.

Funny, that's exactly what I think about your religion.

Yes, I most definitely am against it.

Ah, but you DO like it. You don't have a problem with people like Tebow making a whorish public display of his religion at every opportunity because you are the same religion as him. If some pro athlete was incessantly using his fame to promote atheism or Islam, you would be ripping him to shreds with equal or greater vehemence than that with which I attack Tebow. Your objection is based on partisanship, not principle.

and again you spout things that you don't know. you don't know me, what i think, or anything. you make accusations with no basis at all and pretend they are fact. while I am openly christian, if any of my posts here in the last 3+ years have revealed, i am a firm believer in equal rights for all religions. do i like that tebow is a good christian example, of course. would i be bothered by someone of islamic faith or an atheist, not really. they would definitely bother me less than tebow appears to bother all non-christians.
so basically, you attack christians bias all the while proclaiming your own from the rooftops.

Does not compute.

At least I admit I'm biased. Are you willing to do the same?

[andrewhoya]

Yes, I most definitely am against it.

Actually, I was just talking to my aunt in the car. The main reason she dislikes Tebow is because he publicly goes out and says his opinion, trying to get people to accept his opinion. She is a Christian, btw. She said she could care less about what he thinks, and that he needs to stop trying to control peoples opinions.

That is excellent.

I don't think that Tim Tebow has ever told me that I will be eternally punished because I'm not a Christian. What Tebow does is no worse than end zone dances or LaMarr Woodley's leg kick celebration. Some people celebrate their on-field accomplishments by looking like an idiot. Tim Tebow celebrates them by thanking his savior. I have no problem with it.

I think she was mainly talking about his opinions on abortion. But, I have a feeling his opinions on God being the best thing on earth had something to do with it.
